Adding minutes to a time

No, it's not easy.
Some date formats include the time (vmsdate, stardate), and you can use a real
number of days with the date function (ie 0.01 = 0.24 hours).
Failing that, you can keep the number in minutes (or seconds or hours) for
arithmetic, and just convert it (using a define) for display.
If you've got hhmm, you'll have to convert it back to a useful integer first.
